This 12″ vinyl (LP) version of Hymns from the Abyss is one for the eyes (well, and ears of course)!

You can see the design follows the CD-version but with twists you’ll want to nag yer neighbour about ’til he/she screams and begs you to stop.

The first is written for our title
To hold an equal share
The loot will then be carried out
To each of us quite fair
A word of warning to you all
For the greed of man can rule
If you proceed the act of thievery
Your life will be cruel
The second rule of conduct
Obey your ship’s command
Captain, master, boatswain, gunner
Will lead with their demands
They will hold a larger part of prizes
And have their own domains
And to question their authority
Will lead you into chains
For the articles of agreement
Are rules to be followed
A code of conduct that will keep you aboard
It’s an oath for me honor, oath for me heart
Sworn on the skull and a pledge to take part
It’s an oath for allegiance, oath for me life
I’ll sign you me mark for our long-lasting strife
The rest of the code
Are quite simple rules
Do what your told
And stand ready for some duels
Your arms be clean, sharpened
And prepared for your call
Stand your ground, don’t you run
Or death be your fall
For the articles of agreement
Are rules to be followed
A code of conduct that will keep you aboard
Chorus
I swear to you truly, me life to you all
I’ll hold you me word or death be me fall
Chorus
